Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

I just ran across this again and it amuses me:


A Day In The Life Of Joe Republican

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much of what it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government- subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

It's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below- market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. 

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! Whatever happened to personal responsibility!?  After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

Nice.

What I don't get is, the Clinton campaign just will not accept the fact that they cannot pull off the delegate victory...even if she won every single state, including tonight, by 10% she would still have less than Obama.  Pretty lame that this bitch is gonna keep going and split the party and just make McCain that much stronger.  Farg her!

that regular delegate count wont matter if the supers think she has a better chance to beat mccain in the general....and if she wins ohio and pa which its looking real good for that to happen now then you can make a really legitimate argument that she has the better chance...

i think its been like 100 years since someone has won the presidency and not ohio....its probably the number one bellweather state in the country with pa close behind...and barry cannot win ohio in the general


you guys all despise hillary but democrats want to win in november....thats much more important than who wins now...and this is why so many supers are holding out still and may still switch.....because they are gonna back the person they think can win not the person who they necessarily want

thats why im gonna laugh at at all these so called dems who trash hillary all over the place if they have to vote for her in november

Undoubtedly written by some lazy commie pinko liberal douchebag on the government's dime.

[ice grillin you]

its not what i want....but its a distinct possibilty...it just amazes me that people cant seperate their hate for hillary from reality...

with a lot of people its like a contest to see who can claim they hate her more

Dislike and hope Hillary loses all you want this is the truth of the matter. Things these days are very flavor of the month and her string of victories make her that flavor. In the end the person who is riding highest into the convention will most likely get the super delegates delegate count be damned.

The process is pretty farged up if you ask me.

I was referring to Dio's post, actually.   

And I'm not voting for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances.  I said it before and I'll say it again... I'll actively campaign for McCain before I'll vote for that succubus.  McCain might be a flip-flopping pandering icehole but at least at one time he had a speck of honor.  The same can't be said for that miserable bitch.

[Cerevant]

If you think democrat at any cost is the solution, then you deserve what you get.  Hillary is not a democrat, and if she gets elected, count on more of the same.

This primary *is* the election, because if Obama doesn't get the nod it won't matter who wins the general.  McCain and Hillary are both pandering special-interest serving corporate shills.

Why do I hate Hillary?  I hate Hillary because she will say or do anything for power.  She stopped caring about people years ago, now she's in it for her ego.  Her principles are for sale.

I also hate that she can go on TV and spout outright lies in the day or two before a primary and people have to vote before Obama can get the truth out.  Even then, if the truth doesn't show up during breaks in reality TV, most of the people voting won't hear it.

I hate that  if Obama doesn't start a smear campaign of his own he might just lose this thing to the American Idol voters.

I hate politics.

you arent a democrat are you?...either way i wasnt talking about you

you do know that mccain is the republican nominee?

its not democrat at any cost...its barry or hillary vs mccain....and as much as i dont like hillary she is the far superior choice to mccain...mccain will be in the rose garden in a few hours getting big upped by george bush...what more do you need to know...more war lots more war....more republican tax cuts...ect....

the only thing mccain has over bush is on social issues (but he loses to hillary on such matters)...with mccain theres a better chance of moderate judge appointments and no marriage amendments...at elast thats what you hope but once the far right gets a hold of mccain anything can happen...and hes already shown hes fraudulant on many of those type issues by flip flopping

[Cerevant]

I disagree that there will be a significant difference between a Hillary administration and a McCain administration.  She talks a good game, but she doesn't vote that way, and it won't serve her power base.  Being at war focuses the power on the executive: do you think she will want to give that all up?

Oh, and I find it amusing that this great landslide and shift of momentum amounts to a 16 delegate gain for Hillary.  And that is before the Texas caucuses cut that in half if they don't wipe it out.

[Rome]

Registered independent here.  I do vote Democrat more often than any other party, though, mostly because most Republican candidates are soulless robotic corporate whores who couldn't give less of a damn about the majority of their constituents.

Hillary Clinton is all of those things and more.  She's arrogant and completely consumed by her lust for power.  She's going to do anything to get elected including, obviously, tearing the party apart.

Remember what I said about Florida & Michigan.  Now that it's razor-close, it will all come down to those two states.  The drum beating is about to begin, baby.  Just wait and see.

[ice grillin you]

about the only thing that might get me close to not voting for hillary (ie at all) would be if they count michigan and florida delegates...that would sicken me...but still not as much as a hawk republican being in the white house would

i would be for primarys in those two states tho...i think it would be kind of lame for a race this close to leave out two really important states...and fighting against that on barrys behalf is kind of weak...also by leaving out those states in the dem primary alienates a lot of voters...so reagan democrats dem leaning independants and people like that may be inclined to vote for mccain

[PhillyGirl]

I agree with all of Cerevant's posts. As if I had typed them myself.

And most of Romey's as well.

I just told my mother in law that I would NEVER vote for Hillary no matter what.

[ice grillin you]

thats fine but when the republicans have the white house for potentially eight more years no complaints

Hillary running the WHite House doesn't pose enough of a difference for me in that regards. She's MAYBE a bit more left than McCain.
